NPTU FCPOA Challenge Coin

NPTU (Nuclear Power Training Unit) FCPOA (First Class Petty Officer Association) is an association for the US Navy’s First Class Officers who have finished the training program at the Nuclear Power School (NPS). NPS is a technical school operated by the U.S. Navy in Goose Creek, South Carolina as a central part of a program that trains enlisted sailors, officers, KAPL civilians, and Bettis civilians for shipboard nuclear power plant operation and maintenance of surface ships and submarines in the U.S. nuclear navy.

Following graduation from Boot Camp, enlisted personnel proceed to Nuclear Field “A” School for training in rating as Machinist’s Mate (MMN), Electrician’s Mate (EMN), or Electronics Technician (ETN). A few students from each NPTU class are selected as a Junior Staff Instructor (JSI) based on top academic performance throughout the program, evaluation for aptitude to be an instructor, and willingness to incur an additional 24-month service obligation.

NPTU FCPOA commissioned their custom challenge coin to us, and they wanted something unique and amusing. They wanted to have their mascot, an alligator in cartoon form, to be engraved on the front side of the coin. On the back side, they requested for symbols and insignias to be etched in a circling the NPTU logo which is embossed in the middle.

We also put chain relief for the rims and have both sides to be painted with glossy color. You can see in the photos that the result is one shiny, colorful, and cool challenge coin.
